Description ntarmos 2007-07-06 19:50:06 UTC
x11/slim is a X11 login manager. When used as the default desktop
manager through /etc/ttys the login screen comes up ok but init emits a
stream of 'getty repeating too quickly' for the corresponding terminal.
This is due to the use of an uninitialized boolean variable
('daemonmode'); with gcc optimization above O0 the memory allocated via
'new' is not zeroed out, thus 'daemonmode' defaults to values other than
0. Furthermore, the code only checks for equality with 'false', thus
x11/slim enters daemon mode by default, hence the 'getty...' error
stream. This is with both gcc 4.2.x on 7-CURRENT and 3.4.x on 6-STABLE.

How-To-Repeat: Install x11/slim and use it as a desktop manager through /etc/ttys.

Hi Nikos

Thanks a lot for this patch. It works nicely. I will submit it upstream
for inclusion, and integrate it into the freshly released 1.3.0, for
which I will send a PR in the next few days. This PR can be closed.

Thanks,
Tobias
